  • the back element and the side elements are dimensioned in such a way that the person who is seated can support their back on the back element in the application state and can rest their arms on the side elements. It is particularly advantageous, in particular in order not to have to lift the person lying down onto the support body, if the person lying down sits on the base itself, at least in sections, preferably over the entire surface, when in use.
  • the support body is open downward in a receiving volume delimited on three sides by the back element and side elements, that is, in the application state in the direction of the base, and in other words has no base or seat element.

  • the side elements and the back element are designed to be inflatable, in other words they can be filled with a gaseous fluid, the dimensional stability of the back element and side elements required for the support of the person can be achieved in the application state with a sufficiently high internal pressure achieved by appropriate filling .
  • the support body in a simple manner by leaving out the Pressurized gaseous fluids from the side elements and the back element are put into the transport state, in which transport state the back element and side elements are reduced to a volume that is greatly reduced compared to the application state, for example by more than 50%, in particular between 66% and 75% can be.
  • the volume of the support body in the transport state is preferably approximately one third of the volume in the use state.
  • the inflatable elements i.e.
  • the support body in order to be considered inflatable, must be sealed or sealable in such a way that the gaseous fluid over a longer period of time, preferably over at least 30 minutes, while maintaining a sufficiently high internal pressure in the inflatable Elements can be held.
  • the support body can be stowed in a space-saving manner in the transport state and is particularly suitable for mobile use or for stowing in rooms in which there is little storage space available, for example hospital wards that are usually overcrowded with medical devices and medical material.
  • the weight of the support body can also be significantly reduced compared to the metallic constructions known from the prior art, which ensures easier handling.
  • the support body forms an armchair-like shape in the use state, the side elements serving as armrests and the back element serving as a backrest, so that the person lying down is supported in a sitting position.
  • At least two stabilization elements are provided according to the invention, with one stabilization element each connecting a side element to the back element.
  • the connection by means of the stabilizing elements is usually an additional connection, since each side element is basically directly or, if necessary, indirectly via a connection element with the Back element is connected.
  • the support body is stiffened via the additional connection between the side elements and the back element, thus further increasing the dimensional stability. This ensures that the person lying down is securely supported by the support body and neither the back element nor the side elements yield to a force exerted by the person in such a way that the person can tip over from the sitting position into an undesired position.
  • the support body has at least two fixing sections, via which the support body can be attached to the base, in particular to a bed, such as a hospital bed, for example by means of appropriate connecting means. It is advantageous if one of the fixing sections is designed for fixing in the first direction and one of the fixing sections is designed for fixing against the first direction.
  • the fixing sections can be designed as straps, for example with hook or Velcro fasteners, belts, for example with a plug or clip fastener, or hooks. It is preferred if the fixing sections are designed as, in particular metal-reinforced, eyelets in order to fix the support body to the base by means of connecting means such as straps or belt systems, the eyelets advantageously being attached to flexible straps connected to the respective inflatable elements. In particular, it is advantageous if at least three, in particular exactly three, fixing sections are provided.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides that the first side element has a first fixing section and the second side element has a second fixing section and the back element has a third fixing portion.

  • first and second fixing sections are arranged in the area of the front ends of the side elements facing away from the back element and / or that the third fixing section is arranged on a rear side of the back element facing away from the side elements or the person being seated.
  • the third fixing section is arranged in the second or third quarter of the rear side, viewed in the vertical direction.
  • the back element usually protrudes above the side elements in a height direction, since a larger contact surface is necessary for the support of the back of the person to be supported and, on the other hand, the mobility of the arms of the person being supported is restricted by too high side elements.
  • the stabilization elements are designed to absorb a force acting on the back element by the person lying on the back element, in particular by absorbing tensile stresses, in the first fixing section and / or in the application state initiate the second fixing section.
  • Such stabilizing elements which are tensile in the application state, can prevent the section of the back element protruding beyond the side elements from bending over, especially if the stabilizing elements are fastened in the upper area, preferably in the upper quarter of the back element viewed in the vertical direction.
  • the forces exerted by the person can also be evenly distributed over the three fixing sections.
  • the stabilization elements each have at least one connection section for connecting a securing means, preferably a belt, for securing the person who is stored in the use state.

  • the connection sections in particular if they are designed analogously to the fixing sections, can also be used in a simple manner for laterally bracing the support body by means of the connection means.
  • the side elements and the back element each have their own separate inflatable inner volume and the inner volumes are not connected to one another, so that each inflatable element has to be inflated separately
  • the back element and the side elements each have an inflatable internal volume, the internal volumes being flow-connected to one another. Simple and quick handling is thus guaranteed, since all inflatable elements can be converted into the use state by a common inflation process or can be brought back into the transport state by a common discharge process.
  • At least the back element and the side elements are made of a tarpaulin-like plastic material, in particular by means of a plastic welding process and / or by means of a sewing process and / or by means of an adhesive process.
  • Tarpaulin-like plastic materials are particularly suitable for use in support bodies according to the invention, since on the one hand they have robust and tear-resistant properties and on the other hand they have the flexibility required for inflatable and compressibility in the transport state.
  • Tarpaulin-like plastic materials include, on the one hand, flexible, film-like plastic materials, which are more flexible and are usually comparatively thin, such as PVC films (comparable to materials for inflatable mattresses or the like) and, on the other hand, rigid, film-like plastic materials, which are generally less flexible, however, a higher dimensional stability.
  • rigid, film-like plastic materials are, for example, tarpaulins such as those used for trucks, or drop-stitch fabrics such as are known from the water sports sector, among other things.
  • tarpaulin-like is understood in particular to mean that the thickness of the plastic material is small in comparison to the further dimensions.

  • Another advantage of tarpaulin-like plastic materials is the low permeability, which ensures that the gaseous fluid can be kept inside the inflatable elements, and the possibility of being able to process and seal them using the aforementioned methods.
  • the side element or the back element can be formed from several tarpaulin-like sections by sewing, gluing or welding them together. Likewise, side elements and back element can also be connected to one another by means of the aforementioned methods.
  • the stabilizing elements are made of a tarpaulin-like plastic material
  • the tarpaulin-like plastic material being the Stabilizing elements preferably have a higher rigidity than the planar plastic material from which the back element and the side elements are made.
  • the stabilizing elements can also be compressed in a space-saving manner in the transport state.
  • the stabilizing elements are made from the same plastic material as the back element and the side elements.
  • the planar plastic material of the stabilizing elements has a higher rigidity in order to guarantee a higher dimensional stability.
  • the stabilizing elements can be made from the aforementioned rigid, film-like plastic material.
  • the connection between the inflatable elements and the stabilization elements can be produced in an efficient manner by means of a plastic welding process and / or a sewing process and / or an adhesive process. This is possible both when all elements are made from the same planar plastic material and when some elements, especially the inflatable elements, are made from the flexible sheet-like plastic material and other elements, especially the stabilizing elements, are made from the stiff sheet-like plastic material.
  • connection between the Stabilizing elements and the side elements as well as between the back element and the stabilizing elements by means of a plastic welding process and / or by means of a sewing process and / or by means of an adhesive process is produced.
  • the support body has at least one main valve, preferably two different main valves, for inflation by means of a gaseous Has fluids and / or for discharging the gaseous fluid.
  • the sealing of the inflatable elements in the application state can be ensured via the at least one main valve, since the at least one main valve can prevent unwanted pressure loss in a closed state of the main valve. If the internal volumes of the inflatable elements are connected to one another, one main valve is basically sufficient, while a separate main valve would be necessary for separate internal volumes.
  • main valves Regardless of the number of main valves required, it can be advantageous if there are two different types of main valves.
  • one type of main valve can be designed to be connected to a conventional manually operated pump and the other type of main valve can be designed to be connected to a stationary fluid supply line, for example a compressed air line in a hospital.
  • the support body has a main valve or two different main valves, it is advantageous if the support body has at least one pressure relief valve in order to enable pressure equalization with the environment when a critical pressure is reached inside one of the inflatable elements and thus a possible structural failure to prevent the support body.
  • the back element when used, encloses an angle of between 5 ° and 30 °, preferably between 10 ° and 20 °, in particular 15 °, with a plane oriented normal to the first direction.
  • An angle set in this way makes it possible to support the person lying down in a position leaning back slightly.
  • the plane In the application state, the plane generally corresponds to a vertical plane.
  • the back element is inclined over the angle with respect to the side elements in the direction facing away from the side elements, i.e. in the first direction or to the rear.

  • the first fixing element which is preferably designed as a loop, forms the fixing element described in the cited application and thus prevents the intersection or approach point of the safety belt from shifting relative to the back element, so that the securing of the person lying down by means of the safety belt is always guaranteed. It is advantageous if the first fixing element is arranged on an upper side of the back element facing away from the base in the application state. It should not go unmentioned here that the inflatable side elements and the inflatable back element as well as the fixing sections and the stabilizing elements are not absolutely necessary in order to combine the securing belt with a support body via the fixing elements, but that a support body according to the preamble of claim 1 is basically sufficient is.

  • Figure 3 clearly shows that the back element 2 encloses an obtuse angle with the side elements 3a, 3b, so that the person 25 who is lying down assumes a slightly reclined position in the support body 1.
  • the angle ⁇ is drawn in, which is measured between a normal plane in the first direction 19 and the front side 24 of the back element 2 and is 15 ° in the present exemplary embodiment, so that the person 25 is seated in a slightly leaning backward sitting position in the support body .
  • front side 24 and the rear side 16 of the back element 2 each have several, more precisely four, bulge-like bulges, which on the one hand can prevent bedsores and on the other hand increase the dimensional stability of the back element 2.
  • the base 18 is shown like a table for the purpose of illustration.
  • the base 18 is preferably a bed, in particular a hospital bed, which offers a large number of connection options for belt systems 22.
  • Three belt systems 22 are shown, by means of which the fixing sections 5, 6, 7 are each fastened to the base 18 are.
  • the belt systems 22 each include a belt element 23 which is guided through the corresponding fixing section 5, 6, 7 and fastened to the base 18.
  • the belt element 23 advantageously has a closure element and can be designed, for example, as a cable tie or fastening belt with a plug-in closure.
  • a first belt element can be passed through the respective fixing section 5,6,7 and a second belt element to the base 18 are fixed while a third connecting strap element connects the other two strap elements.
  • two-part belt systems 22 are also conceivable.
  • the belt systems 22 are advantageously designed in such a way that they are variable in length and can be lashed down.
  • the support body 1 as shown in FIG Figures 5 and 6 is fixed on the base 18 as described.
  • a safety belt 17 is known which enables a person to be secured while lying down and, thanks to a special design, enables the secured person to have maximum freedom of movement by placing a contact section of the securing belt 17 on the back of the secured person, cranially and under the armpits
  • dorsally behind the head of the secured person, crossing at a point of intersection, or dorsally behind the head of the person lying down can be arranged running approximately in an approach point, the point of intersection or the approach point being fixed by means of a fixing element.
  • the illustrated embodiment of the support body 1 has a first fixing element 13 which is attached to the top 12 of the back element 2.
  • This first fixing element 13 is designed like a loop and is designed to fix the intersection K of the securing belt 17 guided around the person 25 lying relative to the back element 2. It can thus be prevented that the safety belt 17 slips when the person 25 is moved and, for example, slides down the side of the back element 2 and releases the person 25.
